I come out from mediocre family. During childhood and even when I was studying in Allahabad University, my highest ambition was: to be an officer with my own car and house. By the grace of GOD, I achieved all what I was dreaming for, when I was around forty. But at that stage, mind enticed me to have more. Once I asked my boss what ambitions he had when he started job, and more or less the reply was the same. But he emphasized that now his priorities have gained geometrical proportion and he will not stop. I was lucky to have resisted the temptation and being satiated by what I have. In materialistic world sky is the limit which may never be close to your touch. To lead happy life one has to frame his own limits within which his contentment could find expression. Otherwise he is bound to find himself amongst madding crowd without his own existence.

I am surprised when people who are 70-75 years old and who have achieved enough materially, plan to attain more of it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why that is so?
God does not bless all with WISDOM.
Perhaps that's also one of his ways of balancing the world, after all EVERYONE cannot be WISE, just like EVERYONE cannot be RICH.
It takes all kinds of people to make the world.
